Roberto Castro spun a bogey-free, 5-under-par 34-33=67 in the third round of the RBC Canadian Open for a 54-hole tally of 8-under 208.

Castro cracked the field this week via runner-up honors in Monday's open qualifier at nearby Heron Point Golf Links. After opening in 69-72, Castro began the day at 3-under (T56) and 11 shots back. Eight pars on his outward half were interrupted by a lone birdie at the par-5 second (from 16 inches) to turn 1-under. Following the break, the 30-year-old added par breakers at Nos. 11, 13, 16 and 18, including a long of 7'3" at the par-4 11th. Castro birdied all four of the par 5s at Glen Abbey with each conversion coming from four feet or less. Making his 14th start of the season, he entered the week 187th in the FedExCup standings with a season-best T23 at last week's Barbasol Championship. With play still in progress, Castro sits T15 on the live leaderboard, up 41 spots on the day. Jul 25 - 1:54 PM

With a bogey-free, 6-under-par 33-32=65 at Heron Point Golf Links in Alberton, Ontario, Canada, in today's open qualifier for the RBC Canadian Open, Roberto Castro shared runner-up honors for a berth into the tournament proper.

Castro buried six birdies to secure his 14th start of the season. He's 187th in the FedExCup standings with only one top 25, but that occurred yesterday at the Barbasol Championship. Former PGA TOUR member David Mathis equaled Castro's aggregate today with a 6-under 32-33=65. Mathis converted an eagle-2 and five birdies to absorb a walk-off bogey at the par-4 18th. He'll be making his first TOUR appearance since the 2013 season after which he lost his card. Justin Shin was the medalist with a 7-under 35-29=64. The native of South Korea plays under the flag of Canada. He's fourth on the Order of Merit on PGA TOUR China. Josh Teater rounded off the four-spotters at Heron Point with a 5-under 31-35=66. He survived a playoff with Eric Hawerchuk (35-31=66). The field at Glen Abbey is now complete at 156. Jul 20 - 5:30 PM

The third round of the John Deere Classic was suspended at 11:29 a.m. CT due to inclement weather and the players are being brought in. UPDATE: The third round resumed at 1:20 p.m.

For the second time today, inclement weather has forced a suspension of play in Silvis, Illinois. The first stoppage came at 8:54 a.m. due to lightning in the area. After a 57-minute delay, play resumed at 9:51 a.m. None of the 73 players who made the 36-hole cut have completed their third rounds, with 28 yet to begin. Of those that have gotten started, Roberto Castro is making some noise early, opening birdie-eagle-birdie-par, 4-under-par thru four holes and 9-under total, up 35 places on the live leaderboard to T7. When play resumes, the 30-year-old will be hitting his second shot from the fairway on the par-4 fifth. Overnight leader Justin Thomas (12-under) was originally scheduled off with Johnson Wagner at 1:30 p.m. Jul 11 - 1:15 PM

Roberto Castro has gained entry into this week's Travelers Championship.

Castro was the third alternate when the field was released. He wiggled in following four withdrawals. He's saddled with conditional status. It's limited him to 10 starts in which he's cashed six times, none for a top 25. As a result, Castro is 194th in the FedExCup standings. He's 2-for-2 on the Web.com Tour this season but a mere 154th on the money list. At this point, aside from an out-of-nowhere performance, his sights should be set on finishing inside the top 200 in FedExCup points and chase down a card for next season in the Web.com Tour Finals. No doubt that this is his primary goal right now. Jun 22 - 12:47 PM
